H&R vs. Eibach I am going to bite the bullet so please weigh in
I have searched this forum so much and it seems that I have looked at every pic of lowered cars on here. correct me if I am wrong but it seems that the H&R's have a more balanced look. My goal is to put the m45 wheels on so any and all advice would be great. Obviously I will be using a rear camber kit and I know that there are few if any front kits. For those of you who have dropped your car and have a rear camber kit what is the ware on the front tires?
Good looking out to all that reply!

Go H&R. I have Eibachs and everyday, I feel that the front is too high. Then again, others will swear by the Eibachs. People do complain that the H&R's are too low and cause alot of rubbing over speed bumps, etc. If you don't like your H&R's, I'll trade you for my Eibachs.
H&R's are definitely lower in the front than the rear.. Eibach's sit almost even to my eyes (front just a bit higher) but very closely even..
H&R's do look much better.. however, you will not have too much ground clearance in the front..
I'm looking to lower my car real soon.. will be going with the Eibach Prokit. They seem to be more forgiving in ride quality and ground clearance.

Had BOTH so believe me when I tell you go H&R 10 time over!!! Eibach's are bouncy as hell while H&R's ride smooth as hell. From the looks standpoint, H&R's are perfectly even, where as with the eibachs always made it look like I had a pair of heavyweight chicks in my back seat. Irony is that I had M45 wheels on my sedan with these setups as well until recently lol.... Best set of wheels I've ever owned.
Depends on what you mean by "balanced". IMO, H&R lowered cars look better b/c the front's noticeably lower which gives it a raked forward look. Eibachs give a more "balanced" lowering front to rear b/c the front is not as low as H&R.
I disagree w/ Kazaam that H&Rs are "perfectly even". Actual measurements + specs clearly show BOTH H&R and Eibach lower the front more than the rear - just that H&R lowers the front more than the Eibachs.
Here's my car w/ Eibachs + rear camber kit (which actually did raise the rear up a slight amt) and M45 19s. By looking at the gap below the car, you can clearly see the gap towards the back is larger than the gap towards the front. It is raked forward somewhat and is not azz-heavy at all:

H&R = looks great, but somewhat less practical
Eibachs = looks pretty good and easier to drive in terms of going over speed bumps, parking up next to concrete bumper blocks, going in and out of steep driveways, etc.
You can't go wrong with either.

I have had my Eibachs on for almost 2 years and they are still perfect. No complaints on ride quality or height.

yup same here! I have Eibach's and they are not Bouncy at all! they feel nice and solid. and it's actually a better ride compared to the Stock G's Sport Setup! And I would have gone with H&R's, but they are not made specifically for the 07-up sedans! they are the same springs made for the 1rst Gen sedans! so with that info i went with a spring made specifically foe the 2nd gen sedans, alothogh no real diffrence In supsension, figure the weight versus 1rst gen,? But i could be wrong, But just pick what you like best! They are both Great springs from 2 great companies!
I have no regret going with H&R, thanks for recommending them Heyitsalex
Below are pics of my 2nd gen G Sedan with G37 wheels dropped on H&R. I rarely scrape just gotta drive carefully guys
